Yes, the card will detect if you don't have both plugged in and will exhibit strange behavior if it works at all.

The PCI-e plugs provide power, if it tried to run at full power with just a single one it could end up overstressing the PCI-e slot and the other plug.

Yes.

Your GPU GTX 760 Amp Edition Has a TDP of 185W. Your PSU Sloat will provide 75W Which isn't ENOUGH!
I would suggest that You Buy a 600W or Higher PSU by Corceir OR Antec.

HOWEVER I cant be sure if 600W is enough. Because you haven't provided any info about your System.
